Good morning everyone, it is a new week and that comes with a new batch of AMEX Offers. The offer that most caught my attention was the following offer from AMEX Travel. You must book online here and spend $600 or more on hotel reservations to receive the $100 statement credit. I believe this has to be 1 reservation, not a few smaller reservations booked at the same time. I also have AMEX Offers for 1-800-PetMeds.com, Hof’s Hut, Epic Steak, Boden USA, and Showcase Photo and Video.
(Hat Tip to Doctor of Credit’s US Bank Checking Account post)
Good afternoon everyone, if you don’t read Doctor of Credit’s many daily posts, you are definitely missing some great cash back and MS news. He is also my go-to source for bank account bonuses and I recently started taking advantage of some of the bank account bonuses available to CA residents. If you are skeptical about bank account bonuses, please read DOC’s post Common Bank Bonus Misconceptions + Why You Should Give Them A Go. Currently, US Bank has a $125 bonus for opening a checking account, which you can view here.
If you sign up for a Gold Checking Account, the $10.95-$12.95 monthly fee is waived just for having a US Bank credit card (I have 4 US Bank credit cards open at the moment). If you do not have any US Bank credit cards, you can sign up for a Silver Checking Account and have the $6.95-$8.95 monthly fee waived by having a money market account and $1,000+ in direct deposits or $1,500+ monthly minimum daily balance.
Good morning everyone, yesterday I wrote New AMEX Offers: $20 Off $100 @ Macy’s and Other Random Offers. This morning, I checked my AMEX account and found a new AMEX Offer for Hilton Hotels & Resorts: get a $75 statement credit when you spend $350 or more. Looking at the small print, it looks like only Hilton Hotels and Hilton Resorts qualify for this offer, all the other Hilton chains are excluded (Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, DoubleTree, Embassy Suites, etc.).
Good morning everyone. I don’t know about you, but I love AMEX Offers. I love them so much that I check my AMEX account probably 1-2 times per day for new offers. The last few weeks have been pretty slow in terms of great MS AMEX Offers, but hopefully that changes soon. I tried to find a few AMEX Offers worth sharing, but this Macy’s offer was the best I could find. I only saw this offer on 1 out of 5 AMEX cards, so it might be highly targeted. Get a $20 statement credit when you spend $100 or more at Macy’s or macys.com.

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great 4th of July with your friends and family. This post is 2 months late, since Travel with Grant turned 2 on May 3, 2015. Side note: what is the appropriate celebratory name: blog birthday or blog anniversary (blogiversary)? I’m leaning toward blog birthday since I am not *legally* married to Travel with Grant (#blogloveisreal). Either way, I wanted to celebrate 2 great years of blogging with a few giveaway items.
But before I get to the giveaway, I wanted to say a few thank yous first. Thank you to my readers who have been with me from the beginning and who continue to read my blog on a daily basis. Thank you to my friends on Twitter (bloggers and non-bloggers alike) who are incredibly supportive and immensely knowledgeable. Thank you to the handful of readers who show up at my various meetups to share tips and tricks. Thank you to my readers who support my site by shopping on Amazon and Ebay or by applying for a credit card (or 4) through my credit card affiliate links. And last but not least, a very special thank you to Randy Petersen and the Boarding Area team for their technical and educational help over the last year.
